SEC HEADQUARTERS Almost 43 years after moving to Birmingham from Jackson, Miss., The SEC moved into its current headquarters on October 15, 1991. The building is now named for Roy F. Kramer, the SEC's sixth commissioner who retired in July 2002. During his tenure as the league's commissioner, the SEC won 85 national championships and distributed more than $654 million in revenue back to its member institutions. The 30,000 square-foot building was provided by the city of Birmingham. It was designed to house the SEC staff and accommodate the needs of the various committees, coaches and administrative groups that meet on a regular basis. From its headquarters, the SEC office certifies the eligibility of all student-athletes, manages championship events, enhances academic opportunities for student-athletes, monitors NCAA and SEC compliance, coordinates officiating assignments, negotiates television contracts, distributes conference revenue, cultivates corporate sponsorships and coordinates media and public relations efforts. In 2005, a state-of-the-art video command center was built inside the headquarters and named for the late Brad Davis, the SEC Associate Commissioner who was responsible for its development. Davis passed away on March 2, 2006. The building also features a rotunda that highlights school banners, championship pedestals and two galleries displaying the member institutions.

Yep. Your going to need more than circumstantial evidence, but sometimes a lot of circumstantial evidence is enough to prove guilt.

quote:Obviously you have the officiating bias, number of penalties and yards penalized,

Would be interested to see this. Of course, Bama is just well coached - but how far off the mean are they? Where do they stand on holding penalties compared to everyone else?

quote:Who did what? Womack changed the schedule. Why? Sure, he's a TUAT alum, but why did he do it, what's his explanation?

All conspiracy theories aside, this really does deserve an explanation. It needs to be laid out, in clear, bullet point fashion, why this occurred. There should be a very concrete explanation, not just in general terms. We're all in it for the SEC, right? So explain it. Why didn't Georgia work on Bama's schedule this year and next?

Now, I've had the as much as anyone since about 4:00 yesterday afternoon. But in the interest of fairness, regardless of Shaw's alma mater, IMO is 100% above board and would do everything on the up and up.
